vitality of the Bulgarian people. It is what makes us valuable to ourselves and
interesting to the world. Here, in the Pirin Region, you can enjoy a
festivity of colour and sound - of the multi-coloured embroideries of the folk
costumes and the unique sound of the Bulgarian songs. There re 9 cultural clubs
in the Gotse Delchev Municipality, each of which is an ardent preserver and
follower of the Bulgarian Traditions. Their original folk ensembles are welcome
and preferred participants in national and international festivals.
